Edward A. Paul has left Minneapolis, where he was with Paul and Paul, patent attorneys, and is now in the East. Address unknown. Anybody knowing his whereabouts please advise the class reporter.
One item of interest to the class which has never been offered to the press is the arrival of Warren S. Carter, Jr., born September 14, 1917. He arrived just a little late to be reported in our fifth report. His old man is associated with Davis, Severance, and Olds, attorneys, St. Paul, Minn.
Harry Wells, who has been connected with the College as superintendent of buildings and grounds since 1913, has withdrawn from that position and announced his partnership with Mr. Jens F. Larson, under the firm name of Larson and Wells, architects and engineers. Harry will still remain in Hanover, and will continue his present college position for the present college year. We wish Harry all success in the business. Possibly he will design a 1910 meeting place for our tenth.
At the grand conclave of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, held at Indianapolis in November, W. H. Eastman was elected grand vice-president.
Jack Ryan is coaching the basketball team at Marquette University. He finished a very successful football season at Marquette, and has taken on the winter sport just as a pastime. Jack is also engaged in the insurance business.
Frederick A. Rainey thus writes from Trenton, N. J.: "My old bout with Paradise Glacier kept me from being accepted by the U.S.A. or Canada even, so, after we entered the war, I put in three months in a Philadelphia hospital, where I was carved for a total of thirteen inches. Everything was a huge success but the recovery. I just simply could not convince the examining surgeon that I was in Class A material. When I was finally passed, I was ordered to report for duty on the following Thursday—and on Wednesday the armistice was signed! Having thoughtfully (?) resigned my position, said resignation was refused, and I was granted leave of absence instead. The American Library Association needed a librarian at Camp Merritt. I went. Later I was given charge of the educational work. When I wound up, I was dispatcher in the Hoboken office, shipping magazines and books overseas and for supplies on troop ships. This fall I was back at work at the old stand once more, this time as supervisor of the Day Tech School. Am still holding the job, but don't know for how long. If the H.C. of L. continues, I may join the street cleaners' brigade. No, my three gray hairs were not caused through marriage. And I have only two children that I know anything about, and both of them are adopted. I could write gloatingly on the subject of single blessedness, but that may be a tender topic with you. Sufficient to state, I shall be at the class reunion this June if I keep my health, after which I expect to spend the summer in Cuba on a bumming expedition."
George Sinclair writes that he is putting away a part of his daily receipts as a reserve, the same to be used some time next June. George says the Eastern tenners may have a larger representation, but the Western tenners can make some noise. George is right, and we will prove it.
Western tenners are already making plans to charter a special car. Les and Tiger Bill will start from Detroit, and Easty and Jack Ryan will leave Milwaukee for Chicago, where the big bunch will gather. Chicago tenners who will join the big party are George Sinclair, Shorty Worcester, Don Bryant, Tom Heneage, Paul Albert, John Dingle, Russ Palmer, Dusty Craft, and Happy Goodere. Some noise in this combination. If the New York crowd are real quiet, we will let them join us. The old spirit is working, and we are already getting uneasy in our office chairs. Hurry up, June.
Art Bucknam is head of the science department, Wilby High School, Waterbury, Conn. Art says he is putting away all his Lincoln pennies and buffalo nickles for a good and noble purpose. Guess what!
Jack Norton was married last October. No details. Bring her along, Jack, and prove it.
J. H. Bushway is president of the Bushway Ice Cream Company of Somerville, Mass. Besides running this as a side issue, Bush is president of the Howard Aeroplane Company and president of Old Orchard Flying School. Bush says: "Sure I'll be there at the Tenth. I'll fly, if I can't make it any other way."
Some fifty letters already received from tenners favor the suggestion of the acting secretary to use the DARTMOUTH ALUMNIMAGAZINE as a medium of circulation for tenner news as the most logical way to arouse interest and call the flock together. We are handicapped by having no secretary, but it is hoped that every tenner who reads this column will write the acting secretary all the tenner news for the next issue. Also other Dartmouth men reading this column will be entitled to credit if tenner news is forwarded.
Bert Kent is with the Paper Mills Chemical Company of Holyoke, Mass. Bert will be at the Tenth. Look for him.
Don Bryant is cashier of the Pullman Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago. Don says he is saving a seat for Easty at the annual banquet in Chicago, January 16, and acceptance has already been received. Many other tenners have reservations to make.
A letter received from Bardwell from Minneapolis says: "Next June is going to see me and family in Hanover if we have to crawl there, and having one expert creeper who can go from attic to cellar in 'Nat' Sherman's ten seconds, we feel sure we will again hear 'Ten up.'" He further says: "As near as I can make out, there is going to be an Hegira with Hanover as Mecca next June, and the enviable record of 1910 will without doubt be maintained."
Mike Elliott is at the University of Minnesota. The school is booked to close early, and we can expect to see Mike in Hanover next June.
"Lefty" West comes across with a nice long letter written on U.S.R.R. Administration paper. Some grafter, Lefty. No wonder they are going under. Lefty says: "Was married in Montclair, N. J., October IS, to Miss Laura B. Mershon, and we are living in Ravenna, Ohio, at 420 Cleveland Road. You may know it or not, but I am working for the Erie R.R. Have been with them almost seven years, and might be called a confirmed railroader. My present job is called inspector of demurrage, and Akron is my headquarters. Cleveland is now in my territory, and I get to the Saturday lunches. Am a member of Northern Ohio Alumni Association. Hank Haserot, Walter Greenwood, and Judd are the only tenners in Cleveland. I see Ben Williams is spreading the ink in all the magazines. One of his stories has just started in the Saturday Evening Post. If they have such a paper up in that Berger town of yours, better read Ben's story. It's a pippin. Haven't you anything out there you can send to Washington besides Berger?" Sorry, Lefty, but am not responsible. Have been here only ten months.
A subject docketed for the Tenner Tenth is, "Shall we or shall we not elect J. S. Pishon (Spud's father) an honorary member of 1910?" He has requested that he be allowed to fill Spud's membership. Think it over, boys. Can we deny him this honor and privilege?
Postal notices sent to the following tenners have been returned. Does anybody know their whereabouts? T. L. Belcher, G. L. McClintock, H. R. Harrison, Harry Dore, Sara Mathewson.
A daughter, Mary Jane, was born to Mr. and Jack Ryan on January 7. This makes a trio for Jack, but only one is eligible for Dartmouth.

Les Wiggin, who is located in Detroit, spent Christmas in Boston, and it is rumored he sat in a royal game with Earle Pierce, Ed Shattuck, John Ferguson, Irv Jewett, and Red Cushman. The big party took place at Earle's house, and Les claims to have carried away all the money.
Eck Hiestand is merchandise manager of J. L. Hudson Company of Detroit.
John Ferguson stopped off for a few days to visit tenners in Chicago and Detroit on his way to Colorado, where he has gone for his health. Jack is looking fine.
Billy Williams is the proud father of two future football players, Lewis M., Jr., was reported in our last annual report, but as is the usual case the second one was overlooked. John Stuart arrived March 21, 1918, and is already telling his dad how to increase the sales of Timkin Axles.
A letter has been received from R. F. Cutler, 2203 Ditmas Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. Ray says he will be in Hanover next June. He says he sees Otto Taylor often around his neighborhood, but gives no address. Otto is head usher at All Souls Universalist church in Brooklyn, and he guarantees any 1910 man a seat in the front row. Ray says he never received a copy of our last class report. Has anyone extra copies to send him? Let your reporter know if you don't receive one, Ray.
Herbert Woods is representing the U.S. Emergency Fleet Corporation in the Delaware River district, and has to settle all the differences arising over wages, hours, and general conditions of labor. He says he is a regular subscriber to the MAGAZINE, and he hopes all tenners will subscribe. Herb will be with us at Hanover next June.
Guy Perry is in Birmingham, Ala. No street address given. In fact Harry Wells says: "I assure any member of 1910 would be sufficiently well known so that street addresses are not necessary."
Harry Wells says his family now comprises Mr. and Mrs., a Mr. Jr., and a Miss. No names mentioned. Harry says old New Hampshire is the place to raise children. Other tenners in Hanover are Tom Steward, Shaw, Washburn, and Pete Dow.
Les Wiggin and Billy Williams gave a little party on January 8, the distinguished and sole guest being our tenner reporter from Milwaukee. Easty had some appetite. Incidentally the trio took in a little show afterward. On the way to the show the party stopped to give a 1910 cheer for Ben Williams, as they passed in front of the movie house playing Ben's favorite story. It's up to Ben to contribute copies of his works to the 1910 class for a permanent and lasting record.
BUSINESS NOTICE
The next number of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE will have a little sketch by Ben Williams, telling us just how he made good writing for magazines. If enough tenners will subscribe for the paper, we can no doubt get the management to allow us more space and add to our news column a "Who's Who" column. Our class has a large number of men who have achieved success early in life, yet this fact is not known to the class generally. Come across with your subscription, boys, and get the other tenners to subscribe. United we stand, divided we fall. Let's put 1910 on the map again.
Acting Secretary, Whitney H. Eastman, Box 464, Milwaukee, Wis.
